    Yeah, seems a bit of a strange statement to make. Not sure why they need to make that amount of money on the very first day.

    They say 1 million on day one because sales decline in a predictable pattern. They've plugged the numbers into the equation of the sales curve. The result being that to sell enough in the timeframe they haven't told us they want it to be profitable by (I imagine the first month or something like that) they need to sell 1 million on the first day.

    If there's a game that can do it it's MGS, but it doesn't look hopeful.
